When to Apply Essential Oils: Daytime Knee Pain Gel

[@52772]

I have been a bus operator for 29 years. I have been knee pain for a whole week now. Am going to purchase these oils tomorrow morning. Hope it helps with my knee pain. Thank you for making this video

[@aquiangel4345]

The thing i like about ur videos is that they are completely no-nonsense, crisp and clear , your voice is very soft and the music used in background is very slow n peaceful kinda.!! Great work!! And thanks for such wonderful recipes.

[@dkjay22]

Aqui Angel I couldn't agree more :)

[@rosanneducharme5486]

Just made this Arthritic pain recipe and for first time am able to walk without pain in my knees! Thank you so much for what you do and share! 💖🌸

[@aromatherapyoils]

That's wonderful, Roseanne! We're so happy to hear your amazing feedback! 💜

[@hellokittymom2000]

Hello. I made this last night and used it after my run this morning and I have to tell you! It works!!! Amazing. Thank you.

[@spiderwomanatl]

A few days ago I made a batch of this gel. Earlier today, I touched the top of the stove and burned the tip of my finger. Even for the pain for a small burn, this was as close to perfect for my finger. For about ten minutes I used a bag of frozen corn at first and my SO gave me the gel I made for him. The way it smelled got be past the pain and the aloe played a part. Still, I'll make another batch and keep it in the fridge for days like this. It is about the go to gel for any pain.

[@wilknake-geene2190]

Thank you SO much Andrea ! It Works ! Also using your nighttime recipe, and wow my knees are not swollen any more , and gone is the pain. Thank you again !

[@pamelahare5162]

Hi, Andrea! I ❤️ your videos! I recently made the blend with the trauma oil, and I was so impressed with its effectiveness! I dislike the odor of peppermint oil, so I wanted to ask if you had a suggestion for another oil I could use that would be as good. Thank you!

[@aromatherapyoils]

Pamela I am thrilled to hear that! Trauma oil is wonderful for soothing pain. A good option to use in place of Peppermint to help calm pain and inflammation would be Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile).

[@charlottes1731]

It is good to know how to make pain relief gel instead of buying it thank you Andrea very pretty top pretty colors

My hubby as hight blood pressure so he can't uses Rosemary plz wat other one can I use , thanks I love ur video been watching u for long time I have learnt a lot, thank u x x x x x

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Rita! We follow the safety information from “Essential Oil Safety, Second Edition” by Robert Tisserand and Rodney Young. They’ve compiled solid research and the most up-to-date resources on essential oil safety. According to their findings, essential oils including Rosemary ct. camphor (Salvia rosmarinus/Rosmarinus officinalis ct. camphor) would not raise blood pressure enough to be a concern. The Aromahead recipes we share on social media are very safe, and if you follow the recipes as given, the dilutions are low enough not to cause any significant reaction. There are no specific oils to avoid for high blood pressure as long as they’re used in moderate amounts. But of course, if you feel more comfortable, you can always choose to avoid Rosemary. Juniper Berry (Juniperus communis) would be a nice substitute if it makes you feel more comfortable. 🌹

[@alshaifhir]

Randomly landed here looking for knee pain relief. Thanks for the info. Wondering how aloe gel helps get the active properties of the oils "into the bloodstream"?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Al-Shaif! That's a great questions! Aloe Vera is a hydrophilic carrier that easily penetrates the skin tissue and transports the components of the essential oils that are eventually absorbed into the bloodstream. We hope you have the opportunity to try this recipe! Please let us know how it goes for you if you do 💜

[@nmreza1955]

Thank you. You are great I want reckwest if you make some for very dry and afrekan hair. For may eight years grand. Doughter

[@aromatherapyoils]

nm reza Jojoba is wonderful! It softens and conditions the skin, the scalp, and the hair. Argan oil is another option for a nourishing carrier for hair. I use less than a pea size amount on my hands and run them through my hair. You may need to experiment with the amount to discover what works best for your granddaughter's hair.

[@kathyhartman8980]

thank you so much.

[@el3lm_elyoum]

Is essential oils diluted in carriers or not before adding to alloe vera??

[@aromatherapyoils]

Great question! We recommend diluting essential oils in carrier oils before applying them topically as essential oil can cause irritation to the skin. In this recipe, we are using Aloe Vera as the carrier. 💜

[@shady7029]

Is pure coconut oil as effective as Aloe vera gel? Can you use pure coconut oil instead of Aloe vera gel?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Shady 702, you could use coconut oil in place of the aloe vera gel. One difference would be the rate of absorption. Aloe gel is a bit quicker but the coconut oil is also good.

[@145Jannah]

dear andrea, does rosemary 1,8 cineole contain enough camphor component? if not, would spike lavender be a better one to use in place of the rosemary for this recipe? thank you!

[@aromatherapyoils]

Yes it does! The camphor and 1,8-cineole in Rosemary contribute to its ability to increase circulation and relieve pain. It's interesting (and fun) to compare - you could try the blend one time with Rosemary, and then the next time with Spike Lavender. Let us know how that goes!

[@hannahlovee6313]

Hi Andrea! Can i use the aloe from the aloe leaf? Is it the same? Or should buy Aloe vera gel

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hannah Lovee you could use aloe directly from the plant, although it will only last a few days and it would need to be made fresh every few days. Aromatics International sells a great organic aloe vera that we recommend: www.aromatics.com/products/aloe-vera-gel

[@hannahlovee6313]

Aromahead Institute thank you so much!!

[@EmilieTurcotte97]

How many times a day we need to apply? For how long?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Emilie! We would suggest using this product directly on areas of concern throughout the day, as-needed. How long a product is used is very personal and depends on a variety of factors. This recipe could safely be used until symptoms resolve. We'd love to hear how it goes when you try it! 💜

[@52772]

Were could i find aloe vera gel. The only one i found is too thick. Which is for sunburn, irritated skin. Thank you

[@kenesamorgan3987]

What is shelf life for this?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Hi Kenesa! A blend’s shelf life is determined by the ingredient with the shortest shelf life, so it depends on the ingredients you’re using. In general, any products made with water or aloe vera gel (which is water-based) should be made fresh every few weeks.

[@lylfaceem]

Wondering if this would work well for hip pain?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Sharon Schenkel, this blend would work for many different aches and pain. Try it out and let me know how it works for the hip pain.

[@susanvanhorn6916]

Hi, Andrea! Could you tell me why I wouldn't use the nighttime knee pain oil during the day? I find it so effective and wonder if there is a reason it is called "nighttime" versus this one for "daytime". Thanks!

[@susanvanhorn6916]

Andrea Butje perfect. I've been using it on various "boo-boos" for the last week at all different times and it's pretty amazing at getting rid of any kind of pain. Thanks so much!

[@susanvanhorn6916]

Andrea Butje I'm guessing it calms at those times instead of helping me sleep.

[@aromatherapyoils]

Susan Van Horn, you certainly can use the Nighttime Knee Pain recipe during the day. The oils in the nighttime blend are very calming and can help to capture a good nights sleep along with reducing the knee pain.

[@andreabutje9218]

You could keep in the the refrigerator when it is not in use, so then when you do apply it, it will be cold and that can too. I suggest to make this blend fresh every few weeks.

[@christinad6296]

Is there a substitute for the Rosemary? Thank you for the informative videos!

[@aromatherapyoils]

You might try one of these two oils: Juniper Berry (Juniperus communis) or Spike Lavender (Lavandula latifolia)

[@davidflkdavidflk3196]

Hi Andrea can I ask where you get your aloe Vera gel. It looks more like a liquid on your video. My gel really is a 'gel' and there is no way i can pour it into a small bottle, it has to be scooped out.

The Aloe Vera Gel from Aromatics is a thinner consistency - it's a lovely consistency that can actually be sprayed! www.aromatics.com/products/aloe-vera-gel

Hi thanks for all the great information. Just wondering could I use clove oil in place of ginger if so how many drops ? Thanks very much.

[@eforcebedlam1974]

Just made this blend with jojoba oil. I was wondering why you used so few drops with each oil compared to other muscle relief blends , Especially since you are using a 2 ounce bottle...can I double the dose of each oil to make an extra strength blend?

[@aromatherapyoils]

I find that this dilution is a good one to address pain. Of course if this doesn't seem to be effective you can increase the number of drops.

[@natalieolala1340]

[@lyndeeallan9369]

Hi Andrea, the Night Time Knee Pain Gel seems like quite a low dilution (14 total drops /60mls). Is this because of the increased absorption rate of the essential oils in the Aloe Vera Gel carrier?

[@lyndeeallan9369]

Thank you for sharing your expertise, it's fantastic. I'd also like to ask a more general question. Is the quick absorption rate of Aloe is maintained if it's blended with another carrier e.g. Sweet Almond, or would blending it reduce the absorption rate?

[@aromatherapyoils]

In my experience this dilution nicely addresses pain without the extra need of additional essential oil. The aloe vera gel absorbs so quickly and this might play into how effective the blend is, Lyndee Allan.

[@aromatherapyoils]

If this was blended in a carrier oil the absorption rate would be a bit slower.

[@aunnagill2600]

I suppose this would also be effective on tennis elbow or arthritis? Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@aromatherapyoils]

[@aquiangel4345]

y is that you use different essential oils for day and night? Also, y is the aloe gel in liquid form, is it aloe juice? how to make the aloe gel in liquid form?

[@aromatherapyoils]

Aqui Angel, different oils have different therapeutic properties. The oils in the nighttime blend are calming and can help with sleep where the oils in the day time blend are more stimulating and not the best choices for nighttime use. Both recipes address the pain and inflammation but act differently on our nervous systems either calming or stimulating.
